Continuing on with another Disney villain… Hades from "Hercules".  Now here's a really unique hand design, what I can only describe as a cross between a spider web and a deck of spades.  I actually had a lot of fun with this one.  He's a thinner character, and I usually have trouble with those, but for whatever reason this one went smoothly.  I think it's probably the cool, slick gestures.  Maybe I'm just better at characters with really extreme poses, haha.

Also, I found a new way to sketch hands during the course of this one (inspired by Hades' combination of hard edges and smooth curved lines), so I'm gonna try that more in the future to see if it gives me more control.  Below is an example of what I mean (from rough to finished):
